    Funny thing is, I've owned probably well over 100 bikes, from 50cc to 1000cc. But when I look back the ones that I really miss, that put a smile on my face when I recall them, are never the big ones. they;re the little ones. My Bantams, the 50cc Yamahappy, Li'l Ratty (God I miss that insanely happy little fellow) .

    Big bikes do stuff well, they go fast, go far and so on. But little bikes are like kittens or puppies, you always feel happy when they're around.

    It's all relative. When you're 20 foot tall, a Munch Mammut seems small.

    Hang in there Klingon. You'll get your Trumpy.
    Kanny is in exactly the same boat, re owning a Volty and wanting a Bonnie, but I think we might keep her wee Suzi, as I think they are a great little bike also.

    I don't think I'm ready to part with my reliable and loyal little first bike yet.
    Need the Volty for 'that driveway' ??
    What's a girl to do, eh?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
